Little Sister

What is Little Sister? Perched along Midtown's strip at 2031 Yonge Street between Davisville and Eglinton, Little Sister is a lively Dutch-Indo snack bar spearheaded by restaurateurs Jennifer Gittins and Michael van den Winkel. The space balances an industrial street-hawker aesthetic with distressed plaster walls, warm Edison lighting, a bustling front bar, communal tables, and the upstairs cocktail hideaway Bar Batavia.

Little Sister Menu & What to Order Built around bold Indonesian spices and Dutch colonial snack traditions, the sharing menu excels across skewers, street snacks, and braised mains. Start with the grilled satay ayam coated in thick, house-made peanut sauce, alongside the crispy rendang tacos and Dutch-style war fries smothered in mayo and peanut drizzle. Heartier anchors include the fork-tender semur Java beef short ribs and rich udang kari coconut shrimp curry, paired with aromatic nasi goreng and tropical cocktails like the fiery Ubud Hangout.

Know Before You Go Tables book quickly through Resy for peak dinner hours, but the house always holds an allotment of stools and communal seating for walk-in traffic. Located a short stroll from Davisville and Eglinton subway stations, street parking along Yonge can be tight, making transit or side-street Green P spots your best bet. The kitchen serves dinner nightly alongside an early-evening happy hour.
